Hi all. I have recently been given the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) for my 40th Birthday. I have bought a Samsung 64Gb MicroSDXC UHS-1 PRO Card to be able to expand its memory.
The card turned up today and no my up most annoyance I can't get it to work properly.
Here are my faults:-
Mount the SD Card, check on File manager and it says 63.28Gb available. 1 Folder (LOST.DIR) showing on the card with 0 files in.
If I go and try to add a new folder, a message appears at the bottom of the screen saying 'Creation failed' and then card becomes unrecognisable by the File manager.
The go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/STORAGE and scroll down to SD Card and it reads 0.00B Total space, 0.00B Available space.
If I unmount and remount without physically extracting the card, nothing changes, it still reads 0.00B available. I have to physically remove, wait 5 secs and re-insert the card for it to be recognised again.
I have downloaded SDCardTester from Play Store and that worked fine on the first try, Reading and Writing 100%. Each time I try and do that again it now says 'ERROR - No permission to write to extSdCard'
I have checked the Permission/Platform.xml file and the <group gid="sdcard_rw" /> line item is there.
I have also noticed that a couple of times that I have tried to download apps from Play Store while the card is inserted into the SD Slot, the Samsung Note turns itself off and reboots itself without me even pressing anything.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 too and when the card is inserted into this, I can fully read and write to it.
So my question is, why can't I do the same with the Note 10.1 (2104 Edition)? What is it I need to do?
BTW - I am a complete novice at this and if Rooting is the way forward then please can someone explain it in laymans terms.
I have the EXACT same card yet never had any issues with it. I took it out of its packaging and popped it in and never needed to format it or anything and its worked brilliantly from day one, So no idea why yours isnt working with the Note 10.1 2014. Maybe zomeone more tech savvy than me and you can come up with a reason.

Yeah, bought a SDXC Class 10, Samsung, 64GB. It was working, but had serious issues with stuff like "permissions", it was also so incredibly slow.
Then, all of a sudden, I restart the tablet, it "checks for errors", and automatically unmount it. If I go to the Storage menu, the whole tablet freezes while it's trying to identify the SD. Tried to put it on the PC, but the same problems: I open the partition manager, it will freeze until I take the card off. Tried on Windows, and in Linux, through GParted, it wasn't showing either.
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/tutorial-howto-convert-external-sd-card-t2480963 , and I'm going on the expert mode. fdisk never opens, then I tried directly to format (Since I know the folder, and it's the same one as in the tutorial), and the same command doesn't work (There is no -t), so I tried -F and it gives a "Short write" error.
I'm not sure if my card is busted (After 2 days since I bought...), because all of them still tries to read it, but just can't reach an end...

Where did you get the card? Sounds like you may have a counterfeit.

It was an eBay purchase, just short of £30.
I have downloaded SdCardReader App which is supposed to be able to let you know if it's counterfeit, when I originally ran this it came back as all ok.
This doesn't explain why it works perfectly well in my Samsung Note 3 and not in the 10.1 (2014) though which is why I'm confused???
Well, the price is right, but I generally wouldn't trust eBay. I've only gotten counterfeits from there. But if it's working with your phone, sounds like a legitimate card.

Did you try to format it in the new tablet?
Did you try to put it into a computer and see if that can read it?
Also did you try to put anything on it in the other note?
Hi guys, so is there a solution to this? I'm having the exact same problem with downloading apps and also with the card reading 0.00. it works fine in my pc, works fine in my samsung phone, but probs with my note. Is this a known issue or do we replace the tablet or card?

Where did you buy your card from.
My guess would be get a refund on the SD card and buy the SD Card from Amazon. Reason being is then you will know for sure what the issue is since Amazon only sell official items. I bought mine from amazon and worked straight out of the packet.

Yup! It was a fake! Went down to my local store, straight out of the box worked a treat, no issues what's over in all my tests and maaaaaaan it's Fast! After getting the genuine one u can notice extremely subtle differences In the packaging.

Got similar fake directly from german seller hitmeister (and not via some reseller registered there, but directly from a company).
This is one of the large vendors/aggregators like amazon, and thus i'm surprised to receive a fake card from such company.
Also the card wasn't cheap - some 42 Euros (by the comparison it is 38 Euros at ComputerUniverse).
The package is different to what is available on the market (64 GB are written in white, while PRO is written in grey, and not in silver.)
Still the package looks pretty legit, even though Model code indicates it is a chinese version (MB-MGBGB/CN).
Though the card itself looks already a bit strange - The package indicates that the card is made in Korea, however on the cart Taiwan is written.
Also on the card it self the size is written in the same color as the other information.
I'm testing the card with H2testw for 5,5Hours already and got only 14GB Tested for writing.
First 6 GB were tested quickly (some 4,5 MB/s - still way below class 10), but speed dropped afterwards (i'd say to 0,5MB/s).

Yeah, I already bought 2 original 64GB Micro SD from Amazon, one for the tablet, one for my phone, but both I made sure to buy from Amazon itself, not from others, and both came well, though I do admit that, to create directories on it via explorer, this tablet sucks compared to my Xperia Z1, but I think the problem is Touchwiz security related bull**** and does not happen with good Android based interfaces.

if you're talking about SD card permissions, that is something all KitKat devices have in common, and has nothing to do with "TouchWiz bull****"

Same story - Hitmeister is the third largest online vendor in Germany (after amazon).
Though i've heard that noone is protected even at amazon.
At least my 14 days return period is not over yet.
Will try to give it back.
After 18 hours of testing with H2testw the conclusion is very clear:
The media is likely to be defective.
7.4 GByte OK (15692927 sectors)
Remainder is lost.
Bought my 64gb memory card on ebay over a year a go. Had it in my Galaxy S4 and my Note 10.1 2014 edition tablet and never had a problem with it from day one.
I've had a few from this eBay seller definitely not counterfeit

Regardless if there are genuine sellers on ebay you are always taking a gamble buying from there, always stick to direct sellers like amazon or on the high street so you don't waste your time with rouge coyboys.

ok so I am now about to be on my 3rd 32gb Lexar class 10 micro sdhc card. I am thinking that the first two since they were in the same shipment batch that they were just a bad bunch of cards. Just wanted to put the warning out there to you guys. My cards will just show up as corrupted and will not mount. Having to use a forensic software to pull all the non-backed up stuff off right now.
Anyone else having any problems with them?
I havent tried Lexar but I did buy a 32gig Class 10 Patriot and it has worked flawlessly so far
I have the lexar one and it works fine.
just warning you...37 days into this card and it failed....the first one lasted a little over 2 weeks.
back up, thats all I am saying
I got one coming... i'll see how it goes

Thx. I decided to try the Patriot version instead (not that it has any better reviews, but a few Atrix owners have reported success with it). Cheers.
Been running lexar since first week had the phone, no problems yet. What batch yours come out of? Also, ordered from provantage, shipped from new jersey or georgia one, will have to double check.
couldnt tell ya. I do know it was the very first shipment of them that came into our store like a week or two after CES. Im just thinking it was just a bad first batch. 3rd one is going fine so far...
I got mine through Beach Audio via Amazon. It's been working fine so far.
I got my Lexar class 10 a few weeks before the Atrix, it has been in the phone since the first boot and has worked great.
There is a known issue with micro sdhc cards with the atrix. Just like with the windows phone. Motorola is supposed to be coming out with an update to fix the issue.

The highest capacity model of any data storage device always has a higher per unit of storage cost than lesser models... but it also holds the most. You've got to pay to play.
If you wanted to have access to 32 gb of data, you wouldn't want to be swapping out two 16 gb cards as needed to get that capacity would you? To me, that seems silly.

And I understand that. For me personally, taking 15 seconds to swap an SD card isn't really a big deal, especially since with this phone (thank science), the card slot is easily available under the battery cover, instead of the battery itself.
But, if I can get a decent price on a 32gb card I'm all for it. The price difference just doesn't seem worth it (to me) to save the 15 seconds
If you want to carry all 32gb with you, where di you put the extra 16gb card? It gets old remembering to put accessories in your pocket.

Anyone else getting VERY SLOW transfers speeds with this card? Average I'm getting is 3.5mb/sec which is well below normal!! Therefore, it takes awhile to transfer a movie from my PC.

Like I said, it's really all about personal preferrence. I carry a shoulder bag around with me everywhere I go, so remembering accessories isn't really an issue. I always have my Lapdock, charger, bluetooth mouse, etc. with me at all times. This phone replaced any need I had for a netbook.
Still no word on prices people have got for these?
Are these cards junk or worth buying? Never heard of the brand, assume its a Chinese manufacturer.
Anyone have one of these, try them, good/bad experience with them?

I always stick with high quality Panaphonic products. Or Sorny.
Yes, it's a well-known Korean manufacturer. The only question is: will you get original product of fake. I don't know how to see the difference when buying online.
Original Memorette cards should give you 11Mb/s write speed. Friend of mine bought this for $99 a time ago. You can find such cards for $45 on eBay but are they original...
Memorette 32GB
The 32GB MemorETTE cards can be purchased online for about $10 per card in quantities of 15.
How many people think that a $10 card with that capacity/Class 10 can actually exist in the year 2011?
I tend to think these are knock-offs.
Yeah at that price, what you are getting is most likely a 2 gb card that has been hacked to read 32gb. When you go to add your media or whatever, everything after 2gb is currupt and not really there since you ran out of space after the actual card size.

Just FYI I bought this card off ebay and I have to say DO NOT BUY!! As it was mentioned some where else. it will write like 2 or so GB then all the rest of the data becomes corrupt. I am now currently in a depute about this card and all in order to get my Evo to be my end all MP3 player (which it already kinda was) with Google Music.

Hey, I bought this one as well, fake as it can be. I have also ongoing claim with Paypal regarding this. Looking at it afterwards it was too good to be true anyway.
I also had a bad experience with this product. I could put 32 gb worth of info on it but it would never read all of the info. I mostly used it for movies and I would put about 10-15 movies on it ( each movie about 1gb) but I would only be able to watch the first couple of movies once I put the card in my tablet. My computer and tablet would show that it had 32gb on it so I just though it was my device and not the card. I think I am screwed because I bought it 3 months ago. What Ebay seller did you Buy it from. Maybe if we all bought it from the same person then Paypal will allow me to open a case.

I just thought that My G-Tablet wasn't reading the card correctl or the format of the movies wasn't working so I kind of gave up. I should have done a search to see if others were having problems.
I have one of these - 32gb memorette sdhc. Does not work well in my HTC Sensation. pictures start disappearing, video doesn't play back, carded apps begin to fail.
Now here's the odd bit - seems to work fine in Lumix G2 camera. Pics, video all stay just fine. Even when i put this in my phone after - the lumix G2 pics stayed on the chip and could be viewed on the phone fine but anything taken on the andriod phone started to become corrupt after a hour or so.
Can anyone else do this test??
***** I now think this is because the camera does add extra data so its not going over the 2gig which these cards are most likely to be. Got refunded anyway *****

I ordered two and have used these befofe the sdxc system in the micro sd cards seem to be read as sdhc so that these phones can support it. On an evo even it reads perfectly fine. On the ET4G I havent checked the camera information but it does transfer at 30mb/s (read/write fluctuate between 15-20mb on actual transfer and write is just a bit higher).

ordered.. thanks!
I have been using the 64gb sdxc card for about a month now. It works great!
When I first installed it my phone did not recognize it. Easy fix....
1.menu
2.Settings
3.Storage
4.Unmount SD card
5.Format SD card
The only minor issue I have had is "media scan" can sometimes take a little long if I have too much media saved on the SD card. I usually just place a period in front of large folders that contain movies and private photos. This will hide the contents of the folder from the "media scan".Then I just access them with ES file explorer. The media scan never takes anymore than a couple seconds and its NOT really an issue.
Also for some strange reason Windows will not recognize the card when plugged in to the computer directly but My Mac will. When transferring files from Windows I just use the USB cord and transfer via mass storage or MTP Application.
BUY IT NOW!!! You will not regret it.
I forward this to a few techy friends, we always share deals. One of them stated that this site is known for selling counterfeit SD cards...any truth to that? I would hate to dish out this type of money for a fake card.

Don't know if it's widespread or isolated incidents.
http://photo.net/digital-camera-forum/00LQNF
The above is from 2007 though, so I don't know if it's relative to today.
After extensive Googling, I have come to this conclusion:
There are hardly any incidents about fake SanDisk cards from Adorama.
There is the one incident above, which may have stuck in peoples minds over the years, but is not indicative of a widespread problem.
Most of all that I read about Adorama is positive, or neutral.
Adorama is in NYC, and is in direct competition with B&H Photo, another reputable Dealer to buy electronics from, so I don't think either wants to blow it, so to speak.
The above is just my opinion, but if Adorama had issues with widespread SanDisk problems, I likely would have found it.
Out of the 2 stores above, I usually shop at B&H Photo, whether in store or online. No particular reason other than I went to B&H Photo years ago, and have continued to go there if the price is right. I've been to Adorama once also, and had no issues. I actually purchased recently a SanDisk 16GB Class 6 card from B&H Photo, but purchased the Samsung 32GB Class 10 card a couple of weeks afterwards from another Dealer.
Adorama advertises a lot on 660 AM WFAN sports radio. Pretty big name. I'd be surprised if they wouldn't work with someone who received a bad or fake card.
Found this video with the card being used HERE
Thanks Biker1 & The Root for the feedback... I am yet to get let down from buying a product that I heard from a member on xda developers...even more recommended.
They call them mensches. As a chosen person I'm sold. I believe the store is closed on Friday night and Saturday for sabbath.

Anytime.
I don't have the card, but from what I've read, I wouldn't hesitate to get it if I was looking for a 64GB card, and Adorama seems like a safe bet
I have ordered the 64 GB from Amazon twice and they both failed at 12GB, so I returned them. I saw this sale at BUY.COM and it says they are an authorized reseller, so I ordered one. It is only $47.99, shipped.

They also have a 32GB for $21.68

Did you buy an item that was sold by Amazon of from another vendor on Amazon? Did you suspect that the cards you bought were fakes or did you just get bad ones. I would be wary of buying this card again if I had two failures unless I could attribute the failures to being a fake Sandisk and I was sure that the 3rd was the real deal.

Nothing about the first two gave me the feeling they were fake. The first one I purchased from the Amazon Market, the second direct from Amazon. While copying files on my PC, they both started out at the same speed as my old class 4 16GB card. by the time they made it to 12GB, they had slowed to a crawl and then completely failed. At that point, they both died and couldn't even be formatted.
I will give it one last try with BUY.COM, if I have the same issue again, I am sending it back and buying a 32GB card.

Hi there,
if you like to know I am right now in the same situation. I buy a Sandisk microSDXC 64GB and the first time I put that card in my OLD card reader the PC recognize the card immediately, so to test the card I start copy a file .iso of 6.5GB into the card and then completely failed less than 6.5GB. Now I can't format the card, no way. I try with SD Formatter 3.1, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.1.8, Gparted Live, CMD from Windows 7, no way to format the card. I can only delete the wrong partitions. All the app see the full capacity card but I can't format the f....ng card. I made few research and somebody said I have to have Card Reader fit in with SDXC. All the devices which you use have to be compatible with SDXC, if not you have problems. That is not what I say, that is what the other people saying. I just don't understand why my PC recognize the card with my old card reader and then failed to copy the file and now I can't format the card, something wrong with this stuff.
Anyway, to be fully sure I buyed the Mobilelite G3 Kingston Card reader so I let you know when I get it if something change!
I hate this stuff, but I need this stuff!
Today I received the reader SDXC, no luck, all the same, I have to send back the card, so probably was not the reader the problem, this cards are **** and I don't know why?
If anyone know something about this cards, please let me know, thanks.

which device do you use? Do you formatted the card in different system file (NTFS, FAT32)? The old device see the card?
I purchased the 64gb card. used the adapter that came with it and it was recognized by my PC immediately (used the PC to format in exFat).
I also had another USB style adapter that I used to plug my old 32gb class 6 card into. I had that connected to my PC as well.
Then i just transferred all the files from the 32 over onto the 64 using my PC, and popped the 64gb card into my phone after the files were all transferred.
I can plug my Galaxy 3 into my PC using USB and it'll recognize by my card memory and phone memory separately.

ofcurse, yes it is, I just saw the specs, ok, that's ok, I just don't know if my HTC HD2 will see the card.
Thanks.
$43.99 on Amazon this morning!
Hey guys, so I thought I might write my opinion on this awesome piece of technology that is called Mini MicroSD Card Reader for Android.
First, for those of you who are not familiar with it:
This thing allows you to have expandble storage for you Nexus (or almost any other Android phone).
I bought it because I like installing a lot of ROMs, watching a lot of movies, etc. So all I have to do is to hook the Micro SDcard reader into my Nexus 5 and just like that, all of my data is there.
This is the link to their website: http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html
It even comes with a little keychain holder. It so small and compact that you wouldn't even regret spending 12$ on it. And you can even pick a color.
Note: For this to work, you need to install a free app from the Play Store called "StickMount". It's made by Chainfire, and it's free, although you can purchase it to support him.
I attached some photos down below and I also urge you to watch some videos about how simple it is.
Continue watching other videos about this, just so that you would be sure that you want it: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mini+micro+sd+card+reader+meenova
I bought it and Im very happy with it. It works perfectly.
I have and it works normally.
There's Already a thread on this. You could've just posted your thought on it in that thread
Works like a champ!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Wish they would have put some more thought/design into the USB adapter.
Otherwise, this looks like a great item. On the fence about getting one.
Breakdown of the reader
I used it for several months with no problem at all.
Exfat and NTFS worked with card to 64gb in FAT32...
Recently, it is not any more recognized on telephone or computer.
Tested with various cards : 4gb, 8gb, 32gb and 64gb.
Under different format.
Anybody had this problem?
Thank you
I had the same problem. It was dead. They replaced it for free...all they required were a few pictures of the meenova not functioning.
Do we require root access to use this on our Nexus 5 ?

Not if you use Nexus Media Importer. For Stickmount,the answer is yes.
Hi guys,
Can I flash a zip or do a nandroid backup into TWRP recovery with this SD Card reader?

I'm not sure how good it is, but it's 4 times cheaper, so might be worth it? Slightly bigger though, as it also has the usb to pc connection. There were a few other different ones on that site, might be worth a look if you don't mind waiting 20 days for china to ship it to you
Micro USB to Type A Adapter
FWIW, the Meenova comes with a micro USB to type A adapter that allows it to be used with a notebook or PC without removing the SD card. Of course that can be purchased separately and probably doesn't justify the cost differential but I also think the Meenova reader is smaller and lighter which could be a factor if you plan to move the phone while using it.

Just got mine in the mail today, this thing is AWESOME!! The only thing is, at least for me, I can't delete anything through the phone, which, I guess is a good thing in a way.

It might be a problem with your micro SD card. Try checking for errors using "Tools" in properties for the drive on a PC or notebook.
